Michael Wen­droff is the son of a rab­bi, and a grad­u­ate of Yeshi­va. He has an MBA in mar­ket­ing from NYU, and was induct­ed into its Hall of Fame. He is a glob­al mar­ket­ing con­sul­tant. His moth­er was an edi­tor (watch­ing his moth­er scrib­bling in red ink on man­u­script pages at home on week­ends pre­pared him for his own editor’s com­ments!). She remar­ried a lit­er­ary agent, so Michael was friend­ly with many authors and even spent a vaca­tion with Robert Lud­lum. Watch­ing Lud­lum hand­write his 450 page nov­els on yel­low legal pads didn’t dis­suade Michael from try­ing to write a nov­el (though he’s thank­ful for his PC). His book was launched in the USA, UK, and Aus­tralia, and for­eign lan­guage rights have been sold in Ital­ian, Japan­ese, and Hun­gar­i­an. Fun fact: Michael’s great-grand­fa­ther was brought over by Thomas Edi­son from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Copen­hagen to work with him. He holds a num­ber of patents, includ­ing for plas­tic but­tons. Michael proud­ly wears but­ton-down shirts when­ev­er he can.
